Researcher at Ethereum Foundation. Admirer of emergent order. 🦇🔊
Joined January 2011
Starting today, Tim and I will be leading the work at the EF on scaling Ethereum L1. This is part of a restructuring of the R&D group to more effectively support the three EF strategic priorities: - scale L1 - scale L2s (i.e. blobs) - improve UX https://t.co/OrOkPUuNWH
I’m thrilled to introduce Protocol: a new structure for @ethereumfndn’s R&D teams! Our focus: scale L1, scale blobs, and improve UX, without compromising on Ethereum's core values. The world is ready for the world computer. It's on us to deliver it.

Working with Dankrad over the past 6 years has been an incredible privilege for me. He has done more for Ethereum in that time than almost anyone else. I am very impressed by the Tempo mission and team. I wish Dankrad all the best in this new chapter.
I am excited to announce that I will be joining Tempo. This last year has been a turning point for crypto, where we have finally seen the outlines of our vision being materialized. While payments used to be front and center in the early days of crypto, I see a special opportunity

Seems like the options with GPT-5 (here for info on a simple terminal command with a macos-specific non-standard flag: cp -c) are: - default GPT-5 with wrong response - GPT-5 asked to search web, still wrong - GPT-5 with thinking and web, needs 4min to answer. Very useful.
GPT-5 even with thinking really seems remarkably dumb. This was a random example from an output after over 2min of web search and thinking. o3 would have never written a sentence like that.

But really, do check out these other talks as well! Frontiers is probably my favorite Ethereum conference. Very high quality.
I am giving a talk in ~1h at Frontiers on our Ethereum L1 scaling plans. Event livestream below, I also heavily recommend you check out the other talks. It’s a great event again this year! (I am scheduled for 10am PT, 7pm CEST, but currently ~15min behind).

Frontiers by @paradigm - Day 3 starts in 15 minutes! The final day of this year's Frontiers is all about hardcore systems & data engineering, distributed systems, consensus & of course, Rust & Ethereum! Tune in!

Tim, @vdWijden, and I published an update on the L1 scaling work inside the EF. I would summarize as 3 time scales: - pre Glamsterdam fork: initial scaling through perf improvements - Glamsterdam + following forks: further unlocks through features - 2+ years: transition to zkEVM
In June, we introduced Protocol: a new structure to align the EF around our three strategic goals — Scale L1, Scale Blobs, Improve UX — without compromising on hardness or security. Here's an update on the first track, Scale L1 👇

This was 3 months ago. Ethereum had been struggling with real issues. But there was a clear positive trend, things were changing to the better. But that wasn't very visible yet. 3 months later, and public sentiment is turning. Great to see! Now let's make sure we keep executing.
The reason for why I am getting very excited about the next 3 months for Ethereum right now 👇 Feel free to bookmark this and make fun of me if in 3 months nothing visibly changed.

Looking forward to giving an overview of our Ethereum L1 scaling plans at Frontiers in SF in August! I would encourage people to try to attend in person, it's been a great conference in the past.
Frontiers by @Paradigm update! Aug 6-8 SF. Day 2 is looking 🔥🔥🔥 . Not 1, not 2, but 3 talks on high performance! - "Hyperoptimizing Reth" by @ashekhirin & @Rjected - “Scaling Ethereum's State Trie” by @brianisbland - "Scaling Ethereum L1" by @adietrichs. Apply below!

Ethereum L1 is the world ledger.
Ethereum Layer 1 will be the master ledger for the 🌎🌍🌏. Permissionless to inspect, use and add data or functionality to. Credibly neutral. Censorship resistant. Tamper resistant and tamper evident (via slashing and transparency). Incessantly progressively decentralizing

Interesting conversation, especially on the topic of fragility / longevity of competence in institutions (China / Fed / academia).
New episode with @krogoff, former chief economist of the IMF. Ken predicts that, within the next decade, the US will have a debt-induced inflation crisis, but not a Japan-type financial crisis (the latter is much worse, and can make a country poorer for generations). Ken

For the last couple of years, Ethereum has achieved perfection in shipping hard forks, delivering them without a hiccup. Now, we’re on track to apply the same engineering mastery to scaling L1. Not ignoring the problems, thinking about short and long term consequences, exploring

Welcome to the Ethereum ecosystem, @X! I am very curious to see how this partnership with Polymarket will play out. I am personally a huge fan of prediction markets and am very happy that they ended up as the first "crypto export" into the real world.
we’re joining forces with Polymarket as our official prediction market partner @X 🤝 @Polymarket

Happy to keep working with @ralexstokes on scaling blobs, thankfully with the help of many great teams at the EF and beyond First stop, getting DAS in the protocol with Fusaka .oO Ethereum-grade blockspace should be for everyone.
We are at a pivotal moment in Ethereum’s history. The network, and by extension its community, has a grand ambition to deliver the world computer exporting the values of verifiability and sovereignty to the entire world.

Excited to partner with Barnabé to improve UX on Ethereum Lots to do & success never guaranteed 🫡 Scale L1/blobs 🔁 improve UX
Ethereum stands at the edge of major breakthroughs, and it is critical for us to execute well on the path to delivering world scale for the world computer Today, we are announcing Protocol: A new structure for @ethereumfndn research and development teams https://t.co/GRH3vdUYs6
